What to say and how to say it

I read blogs.  I have some I read fairly often, others I may glance at on an every-now-and-then basis.  They cover a variety of topics:  Life in the world of being a CS / IT guy, Life as a Dad, Life as a practical joker, and musings and observations of life in general as it comes at you.  I like all of them, and it makes me wonder what I should write about.  Should I be topical?  I doubt I want to write about my opinions of life so as to seem like I'm trying to convince myself or, good gravy, try and convince others that my opinions have meaning. 
I have always thought that the first part of writing something of interest is to start.  The words will eventually flow from the thoughts that are rambling about in your head.  I am pretty sure I don't what my blog to be topical, but rather, just a collection of stuff.  What's good, what's bad, what's funny, and what's interesting.  Hopefully, I can look back on this and gain some insight into things that I didn't previously have insight into.  But, I'm probably wishing for far too much.  Another side of me hopes my kids may eventually find this and get a sense of why I did some things the way I did them.  Again, good luck.
In the end, I think this blog may be a combination of a lot of stuff.  Places I go, things I do, stuff I see, observations on the banal and exciting both.
